This Keystone species and their powers to heal our forests and water systems is a part of all of us and necessary for the very air we breathe. That's why we are asking if you would become one of our Wolf Angels. To continue our mission to"Educate not Eradicate" we are asking for help from those individuals that are able to give a gift of $5,000 or more as a tax deductible donation either once or on a yearly basis.

As this year ends we wish to applaud the passion you have shown for the wolves and know you care deeply about them; we have been so blessed to have you as our faithful supporters. Protecting the wolves, all wildlife, the wild lands and habitats necessary for their survival is a priority for us through education. This is a particularly dangerous time for wolves especially and their very survival depends on you and your continued commitment to helping us with our mission to "Educate not Eradicate."

We truly believe that protecting wolves should be nonpartisan, unfortunately environmental policy depends on politics, invariably siding in favor of industry over conservation. We are dedicated and open to working with both sides of the aisle to save these beautiful creatures, and we have made great progress, yet we have had many setbacks with both Republican and Democrat administrations. That is why the ESA and EPA are such vital protections currently being challenged by a particularly hostile Congress allied with the new administration; together they could set back conservation efforts a generation.

The Trump administration's transition website says,"Rather than continuing the current path to undermine and block America's fossil fuel producers, the Trump Administration will encourage the production of these resources by opening onshore and offshore leasing on federal lands and waters."

This means no place will be safe for the wolves and other species where they are currently protected. All of our National Forests and Parks will be at risk. The current House Appropriations Bill for the Department of the Interior passed the House and Senate and it contains these anti-wolf riders and countless others that override both the ESA and the EPA.

House Interior and Environment Appropriation Bill 2017

De-list gray wolves in the Great Lakes and Wyoming from the Endangered Species Act and prevents judicial review of this action.

Calls for a National de-listing for wolves and blocks efforts to protect endangered gray wolves in the continental United States by 2017 under the Endangered Species Act and once again put the gray wolf at risk of extinction.

Blocks federal funding for the endangered Mexican gray wolf under the Endangered Species Act. It also limits recovery to "historic range," even though scientists say the wolves must be restored to new habitats to recover. Bringing them one step closer to extinction.

If you or someone you know might be so moved to become a Wolf Angel,

let us thank you in advance for your generosity.Paul & Colette Pondella, the Shadowland Foundation Staff and the Wolves
